Rising Tide, 2025
Venice, the famously sinking city (by nearly 13 centimetres between 1950 and 1970) is but part of a vast wetland that is the largest in the Mediterranean. Here is a watery garden of mud and barene lowlands that, until recently, were threatened by the Adriatic tides which, thanks to manmade impacts on the lagoon environment and rising sea levels, were coming quicker, faster and higher. The deployment of the €5 billion MOSE flood barriers since October 2020 has put that existential threat on hold. However, the garden of Venice is still recovering from millions of tonnes of toxic waste pumped in from neighbouring mainland petrochemical plants until the 1990s, destructive dredging and the use of the wetlands as a dumping ground for some 2000 abandoned boats, leaking chemicals, fuel and microplastics into the lagoon. Since becoming operational, MOSE has been raised more than 49 times. According to the New York Times, its incessant deployment could render the wetlands a fetid swamp choked by noxious algae, turning the city’s canals into stinking open sewers. When Lord Byron mused that Venice ‘sinks, like a seaweed, into whence she rose’, he could never have imagined the rising tide we must now contemplate.

Over the Venetian winter of 2023–24, Rising Tide observed this littoral zone, a time of acqua alta, with the dredging of the canal city’s famous black silt from green barges with hydraulic arms, and the constant reclaiming of land from the sea. Rising Tide, created in the Wave furnace on the glassmaking island of Murano, captures this lagoon environment in flux. In blown fluorescent green vessels swirled with specks of bronze and Italian marble, and clinging to ancient forms, the artist dredges memory and plumes of hope.

Opening 25 November from 5 pm
stretched, an exhibition of mixed media textiles and paper, has expanded Alison Muir’s dyeing processes, pushed her criteria for artwork and provide textiles that can be hung immediately on a wall. Some works are framed. All works are one-off, never to be repeated and mostly made in Sydney. Techniques include dye, print, paint, stitch, and collage. Some textiles are recycled, and a full colour range is available with a predominance of indigo and blue.
